Wedding Flowers By Season
Here is a reference for wedding flowers by season. It has comments on their uses, costs and meaning.
The costs given are in general terms because things such as air shipping, greenhouse cultivation and imported flowers will add to the expense of the flowers.
The costs of the flowers will also vary from region to region at any time of the year.
Flowers that can be found locally and in season (or even from your own garden) will keep the costs down.
